Check this out. . .
I really don’t have much to say except that you MUST try this recipe! Even if you don’t like onions! I promise, it’s so rich and delicious and not “oniony!”
I found this recipe in Southern Living March 2012 and made it for dinner (with a few modifications from the original) a little over a week ago. Here is how I did it.
Caramelized Vidalia Onion Quiche Recipe
Slice 2-3 large sweet Vidalia onions.
Cook onions in 2 Tbsp hot olive oil for 15-20 minutes until they are a nice caramel color.
While the onions are caramelizing, grate, cook and crumble 6 slices of bacon.
Add bacon and 1 tsp chopped parsley (1/4 cup chopped fresh) to the pan.
Stir to combine.
Lay prepared pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan.
Add half of onion mixture to the pie crust.
Grate 8 oz of Gruyere cheese (enough to equal 2 cups).
Add half of the shredded cheese on top of the onions.
Repeat the layers with remaining onions and cheese.
In a bowl, mix 4 eggs, 1 1/2 cups half-and-half, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground pepper and 1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg (I added a dash more).
Whisk until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture on over the onions and cheese. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until set.
Let me warn you that this smells DIVINE while it cooks!
Ready to see the inside?
Oh my gosh y’all, this was SO good. I couldn’t stop eating it out of the pan after dinner! Even if you don’t think you like onions, be brave and try it, please?!
I served it along side some grilled tilapia and green salad. This would also make a great luncheon dish with a salad and fruit!
Go get some Vidalias and try this! You won’t be disappointed!
